Steampod 4.0: what are the differences with the Steampod 3.0?

steampod 3 vs steampod 4

2019 was the year of the launch of the Steampod 3.0 from L'Oréal Professionnel, in partnership with Rowenta. The success of Steampod is well-established. But with progress, 2022 will mark the release of the Steampod 4.0.

Indeed, on November 1, 2022, the Steampod 4.0 will be available for sale. A global launch for the pleasure of ladies and their hair. Even more performance for this steam straightener, with an additional feature that we'll let you discover.

Steampod 4.0: Common Points with Steampod 3.0

Let's first look at the common points between Steampod 3.0 and Steampod 4.0.

The plates

First of all, the plates on both models are ceramic, coated with aluminum. These plates are ultra-resistant and allow for 218,750 passes over the hair, which means they can last for 20 years! They are also floating, which allows for a better grip on the hair section, and most importantly, prevents it from being crushed.

The temperature

Another common point between the two Steampods: the choice of temperature. Indeed, whatever your hair type, whether fine or thick, the Steampod is for you. You can adjust the temperature: 180°C – 200°C or 210°C. Each hair type has its temperature!

The steam

Another important common point is steam! Thanks to patented technology, the hair fiber will be maximally respected. The flow rate is 0.8g/min, continuously. This results in unparalleled softness, breathtaking shine, and most importantly, compared to a classic straightener without steam, hair that is twice as smooth and 3 times faster, while causing 95% less damage!

Steampod 4.0: Time for innovations!

Before we start with the big innovation, to maintain some mystery and suspense, let's talk about the straightening combs.

The straightening combs

Unlike the Steampod 3.0 which only had one removable straightening comb, the Steampod 4.0 has three. Why three, you ask? Simply to offer every hair type its own comb. So you have:

  • a fine-toothed comb, designed for straight to wavy hair
  • an intermediate-toothed comb, for curly hair
  • finally, a wide-toothed comb, specifically for very curly to coily hair

Each hair type has its comb!

The external heating plates

Let's clear up the mystery... here is THE big innovation regarding the Steampod 4.0. It has external heating plates that are hidden behind thermo-protective covers. These covers should be left on when straightening, and removed when you want to create curls.

The external plates are therefore heated and ergonomic, reaching a temperature of up to 100°C. They make it easier to curl hair. Thanks to these external plates, you will get more defined and bouncier curls compared to the Steampod 3.0. Moreover, these curls will last much longer, and will be softer and shinier.

Bonjour,
Concernant les dimensions du Steampod 3, celui-ci mesure 45 cm × 15 cm × 8 cm, tandis que le Steampod 4 mesure 41,8 cm × 14,3 cm × 8,6 cm.
Le Steampod 4 est donc plus petit que le Steampod 3.

N’hésitez pas à revenir vers nous si vous avez une question !

Ou sont-ils pareils ?
Merci
